You can use input type file and accept image. Meaning the user has the option to select the camera.

Good luck!

For that you need to use html5 upload features. This also requires the server to support it to work.

nijboer i have an issue when am using this in .aspx page in asp.net web application. when i click on browse button i am able to access my mobile camera which goes to video recorder by default and i am unable to switch to camera mode.
kindly help me out.
Thanks in advance

Normally you get to choose between video, camera or choose existing. Maybe you choose a default input method and maybe that could be the reason you don't get a choice anymore.

how do i solve this... could u please suggest me any approaches..

Did you try on another phone? Or other/new emulated phone instance? Maybe it is just the phone you use. All I know is it should ask you what source to use. Also, maybe the camera is used by another app and therefor unavailable (although it would be strange that the video recorder is available when the camera is not). Might also want to try rebooting the phone anyway.

Thanks a lot for ur reply. I have tried out in iphone -safari browser, and other android phones using chrome or opera.. it works.. But in a xiaomi note 4g if i use default browser provided by the vendor its working fine, where as if i use other browsers in xiami its not working. so my point is to make it working in all possible phones and browsers.. thanks a lot..

So specific for xiaomi note 4g using another browser. Would be hard to solve because you have no control over it. Looks like the api isn't completely following the standards. Maybe you could report this as a bug to them.
